Interior Light Fix
 
I found a cheap, quick fix to the pathetic interior lighting. I found these at Walmart for about $6/each. They're LED and have 3 different brightness settings. They come with Velcro fastners. Finally, I will be able to read a map at night or whatever!

They come in Silver, black and I think yellow too

Here's a description of it:

update: the self-adhesive backing on the lights isn't strong enough to stick to the fabric. Both lights fell off after about 24 hours. Back to the drawing board. :(

I really don't want to permanently damage the headliner by gluing anything to it. The only thing I have thought of is to find a metal clip like the one on the garage door opener, and JB-Weld it to the back of the lamp. Then I can affix the light to the sunvisors. Just need to find the clips now...

Or........... try picking up one of those clips made to hold your sunglasses on the visors - like these http://www.instawares.com/eyeglass-v...u67160.0.7.htm

Check the local DOLLAR store for availability.

Add another clip to that sunvisor and it will probably fall in your face every time you hit a bump...:lol:
